A gunman killed 26 people, 20 of them children between the ages of 5 and 10, in a shooting on Friday morning at an elementary school in Newtown, Conn., about 65 miles northeast of New York City, the authorities said.
A woman waited to hear about her sister, a teacher, on Friday after a mass shooting at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.
The gunman, who was believed to be in his 20s, walked into a classroom at Sandy Hook Elementary School, where his mother was a teacher. He shot and killed her and then killed 20 students, most in the same classroom. He also shot five other adults, and then killed himself inside the school. One person was also injured in the shooting.
Another body related to the shooting was at another scene, the authorities said, declining to provide more specifics.
A law enforcement official identified the shooter as Adam Lanza and said that a brother, Ryan Lanza, had been questioned.
The mass shooting is among the worst in the nation’s history.
“The majority of those who died today were children, beautiful little kids between the ages of 5 and 10 years old,” a visibly distraught President Obama said during a nationally televised address Friday afternoon.
